Summary | 0007152: A typing equality is lost in 4.03 branch compared to 4.02.3 | |||||||
Description | The file variable.ml compile with 4.02.3 but not with 4.02.3. ``` ocamlc -o /tmp/dumb -c variable.ml File "variable.ml", line 5, characters 6-667: Error: Signature mismatch: ... Values do not match: val add_dec : dec:Data.t -> unit is not included in val add_dec : dec:make_dec -> unit File "src/variable.ml", line 3, characters 2-35: Expected declaration File "src/variable.ml", line 63, characters 4-11: Actual declaration ``` I'm not able to minimize it more (except in fact the label can be removed...). | |||||||

Of course it should be read `The file variable.ml compile with 4.02.3 but not with 4.03 branch.` |

The fact that `Data.t` is not known as `Dem.Data.t` might be the culprit. |

That's indeed bad, For some reason, the first component of the path is dropped. Have to fix it before the release. Here is a simpler version. type 'a t module type S = sig module Data: sig type t end val key: Data.t t end module Register (D:S) = struct end module M = struct module Data = struct type t = int end let key : _ t = Obj.magic () end module EM = Register(M);; Which gives the meaningless answer: # M.key;; - : Data.t t = <abstr> |

Fix in 4.03 and trunk by commits 05922fa and 35f10d6. I'm not 100% clear of why it worked before, because non-generalized variables inside submodules have always been strange. I think this fix does the right thing, as it lowers their levels when one adds a module to the environment, putting them at most at the binding level of this module, so that all references inside this module will be expanded to an external path. |

Copied from MPR#7313: It took me a while, but here is what this PR is about. This is related to the following type: module Dem : sig module Data : sig type t = make_dec end val key : '_a Fast.t end You should instantiate '_a by either Data.t or Dem.Data.t, depending on whether you are looking at the type from inside Dem or outside Dem. Since the variable is shared between the two, actually both are invalid. So the solution to 7152 solved this by forcing the expansion, and instantiating by make_dec, which is correct. But this also means that you cannot instantiate such a non-generalizable type variable by an internal abstract type (except when you are coercing before adding the module definition to the environment, since the locking is only done afterward). I understand that all this kind of worked until 4.02.3, but my feeling is that this was purely by chance. Something like lazyness allowing one to instantiate with an internal reference before the exporting substitution occurs, so that the internal-external conflict is avoided. The cause this started to fail is probably a change in evaluation order somewhere, but I'm not sure it's worth tracking it down, because it is bound to be fragile. Just to give you an idea of how the original approach was fragile, it was sufficient to add the line let _ = Dem.key just after the definition of Dem above to break it in all versions up to 4.02. It worked in 4.03, but only by making things more laxist, and there were other problems. The more restrictive approch implemented here fixes it once and for all, but introduces some regressions, as seen in MPR#7313. |
